Overview

Microsoft Surface has two cameras: a front-facing and a rear-facing camera. You can change which camera you want to use in your Device Manager settings.

Your front-facing camera allows others to see you when you join a virtual meeting (on Zoom, Google Meet or Teams), or when you want to record a video with the Vidyard Edge extension or Vidyard for Outlook.

Steps

1. From your desktop, click on the Windows menu then select Device Manager
2. Scroll down and select System Devices to expand the menu of your computer's devices 
3. Double click on either Microsoft Camera Front or Microsoft Camera Rear
4. Select Enable Device on the camera that you want to use; select Disable Device on the other.
